There's a wonderful saying: Find
a job you love, and you'll never
work a day in your life. (Often
attributed to Confucius.)
That leads to a frequently asked
question: What kinds of jobs or careers
are suitable for introverts?
The answer is a little complicated,
because introversion isn't the only
dimension of personality that relates
to job satisfaction.
Knowing that you're an introvert
doesn't automatically mean that certain
jobs are going to be right for you and
others wrong. But it is definitely one
dimension to consider as you examine
the elements of career satisfaction.
A little research and self-exploration
will help you determine some paths to
pursue - and this kind of exploration
probably suits your introverted person-
ality. Here are five resources for that
exploration:
1. Do What You Are (book by Paul
D. Tieger and Barbara Barron-
Tieger, Little Brown & Company,
2007) -
Gain a better understanding of all
aspects of your personality type,
including introversion-extroversion,
and identify specific jobs that are in
tune with all of your strengths.
There's a wide range of jobs
suggested for introverts, far too
many to list here, but including such
diverse fields as teaching,
counseling, architecture,
engineering, finance, computer
science, web design,
writing/editing, photography,
paralegal, bookkeeping, tax
preparation, clergy, social work,
merchandise planning, interior
design.
2. Professional Associations -
Learn more about a job from the
professional associations for that
occupation or industry. A good place
to start is the Directory of
Professional and Industry
Associations.
3. Google -
If you Google the phrase "careers
for introverts" you'll find links for
several articles, blogs, book
references, etc. There's even a
discussion among introverts on just
this topic.
4. LinkedIn -
Talk to someone who actually
does that job. If you don't happen
to know anyone, use the Advanced
People search on LinkedIn to find
people you're connected to who do
that job, and ask for an
introduction.
Questions to ask include the
following:
• What does a typical day look
like?
• Does this occupation allow you
to work on one task at a time
until it is complete, or are you
typically involved in multiple
tasks at the same time?
• Is the work fairly structured
and routine, or is the work
fairly unpredictable?
• How much time is spent
interacting with people? With
data? With machines?
• What does the work space
typically look like?
Bottom Line:
A combination of self-
assessment and career exploration
can uncover the job that's a great fit
for your personality.
